closest thing i can find:

ok. i don't think i can figure out how to get a picture posted. this is the cutest, closest thing i can find to a dress for the girls. its so cute, and for the first time, modest. i don't know though where to buy it - the websites are complicated. and i guess i'm dense. and there's no price mentioned, so i'm assuming its expensive. if only i knew how to sew. i'd get some material, sizes and get going. shoot.

oh, i was thinking in the LEAF color. pretty.

flower girl dresses

i'm having a hard time here. i'd like to have my nieces & garrett's (so, my soon to be) neices be "flower girls" - i just know that the girls on my side have wanted and wanted to be in my wedding & get to wear fancy, frilly dresses. but now... i've been looking online & i can't find anything. i can't find anything cute enough, modest enough, priced right... does anyone have any ideas? please please please let me know what you can find. thanks.

reception center aka church building

check another thing off the list... we'll be having the reception at the LDS church building right north of the temple. (that is my sister's building) she was ever so gracious to help us get that booked up this week, finalized yesterday.

as things are falling into place, my stress levels are going down. now its just a matter of loosing the chubs.

found the most important piece to the puzzle

tib would have a fit if i posted a picture of the actual dress. so i won't. but i found it today. in about an hour. it was pain free - although now i know i need to get serious about the diet & exercise crap. rar... but i will say this - i'm pretty stinking happy about walking out of there with a dress today & for a dang good price!!!

cake heaven

i'm in love.

and not just with garrett anymore.

is it just me or is this cake not perfect?

i found it here. i gotta find someone who can make this guy for us.

i have never been a huge martha fan. but i am now. i'm going to devour her website!!!

minus the bride and groom on top. we'll refrain from that kinda crap.

i need to calm down. i'm that excited.

colors

oh yeah... colors *and flowers* so far: WHITE. with lots of different textures of white. don't ask me what that means, that is what a smart person told me to do. with lots of greenery. and brown. cause i like brown. and we need an accent color. cause i say so.

linky links

these are some links of things that i like. nothing is finalized yet. when it is finalized, it'll be placed on the sidebar.

bridal expressions - i'm liking a couple of dresses there. i'll tell you my favorites if you'll tell me yours!

as u wish - catering. we'll see if he works out. so far so good...

platinum weddings - might be helpful.

utah bride guide - cause i need all the help i can get.

wedding paper divas - where we're getting ideas for invitations...

tuxes - wouldn't garrett look hot in something like this?

preliminary brainstorming

this blog is in an effort to keep garrett, me & our parents informed and organized. let me know if you wanna be an author, so you can contribute... otherwise, leave comments & let me know. at this point... i don't really want to open it up to everyone in the world. just our siblings, but i'm not sure i can handle the opinions of anyone beyond that. is that ok?!
